***********************************
Who can attend baccalaureate? We invite all Romeo High School graduating seniors, plus their families and guests, to attend baccalaureate. And if you're a RCS staff member or a community member who want to support the students, you're welcome as well!
Do we have to be Christians or belong to a church to attend? No. All graduating senior and their families and guests are welcome, regardless of your religious affiliation. Or even if you have no religious affiliation at all.
Do I have to wear a mask? No. As of May 15th, Michiganders no longer need to wear a mask at outdoor gatherings.
What do graduates wear? Graduating seniors should wear their caps, gowns, and honor cords/stoles.
Are graduates sitting together? Yes! Beginning June 1, outdoor stadiums can seat at 100% capacity. Therefore, we will have each senior sign in at the gate, and then we will direct them to a designated waiting area to line up. We don't have a line-up order-we want seniors to be able to sit with their friends. At the beginning of the ceremony, seniors will walk in together and sit in the reserved center row of bleachers.
Family and guests can sit in the surrounding general seating.
Will you have a dessert reception after the service as you have in previous years?
Unfortunately, no. While we'd love to bring in our usual mounds of cookies and desserts, we've decided to play it safe and won't have the dessert reception this year.
So does no reception mean no gifts for the grads? While we won't have our usual raffle of gift cards, no way are we letting our grads leave baccalaureate empty-handed! Each grad will definitely receive a gift from us before leaving.
What if it's raining on June 7th? If we're dealing with inclement weather on June 7th, we'll send you an update at the email you provided during sign up and let you know we're postponing baccalaureate until the evening of June 8th.
Who sponsors baccalaureate? Because public schools can no longer sponsor any type of religious service, it's up to private groups like the Romeo Baccalaurate Committee to
take charge of organizing baccalaurate services. The baccalaurate committee is made up of RHS parents as well as local pastors, youth leaders, and church members. In conjuction with the RHS Christian club Youth for Christ/STATIC, we work hard to make baccalaureate a service that will bless our graduating seniors.
I have some other questions. How can I contact you? Just click on our Contact Us page and submit your question. Or if you'd like to speak with someone in person, please leave your name and number on our Contact Us page, and a member of the baccalaureate committee will get back to you.
